Child Builders
"If we can teach children to be great
parents to their children, then maybe in future generations
we’ll see a change in the problems our society faces.
When I see the kids learning and practicing these skills,
I feel hope for the future."

Texas Association for
the Gifted and Talented
"Sometimes students who were incredibly
bright became discipline problems or dropped out. They’re
quickly bored, and if you’re not trained to see what’s
bubbling beneath the surface, you don’t know how to deal
with them. I do everything I can to make my classroom gifted-friendly."

Texas Council on Economic
Education
“I want the students to leave my
classes as independent thinkers. I want them to know and understand
that they have something valuable to bring to the table to
exchange. I want them to understand at the very least that
their labor, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit comprise
the human side of economics.”

Writers in the Schools
“We don’t teach students how
to spell, and we don’t teach them grammar. But we can
take them to a point where they can enjoy sitting down and
writing a story and playing with words the same way a sculptor
plays with clay. Students frequently discover they
can have a good time reading a book, which I think is a great
accomplishment.”
